In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°f) we suggest
using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water.
Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g.
perfumed water, essences, descaling solutions, etc).
Do not use mineral water or other types of water (e.g.
rainwater, water for batteries, conditioners etc.)
Important!
If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has
a neutral pH.
Using the appliance for the first time
• The first time you use the iron, remove the plate protec-
tion (if present).
• When used for the first time, the appliance may
give off smoke and an odour for several minutes.
This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of
the sealers used in assembling the appliance.
You are recommended to ventilate the room.
Ironing tips
• The original appearance and softness of fabrics such as
velvet or wool, or gloves, bags etc. can be restored by pas-
sing the iron a short distance away with the steam jet in
operation.
• Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings etc to avoid
scratching the sole plate.
• Separate clothes according to the recommended ironing
temperature and begin ironing with items requiring the
lowest temperatures.
• Silk may be dry-pressed on the reverse.
• Wool, cotton and fine linen can either be steam-ironed on
the reverse or on the right side, interposing a thin cloth
between the iron and the fabric to avoid " shine".
• Starched fabrics require greater moisture.
• Iron whites and light colours on the right side and dark
colours on the reverse. embroidery should also be ironed
on the reverse to make it stand out.
To obtain a good steam jet, wait a few seconds between
one burst of steam and the next.
